About Us

Sustainable. Affordable. Convenient.

Once Upon A Child makes it easy for eco-friendly families to buy affordably and sell gently used kids' clothing, shoes, toys and baby gear for cash on the spot. Each Once Upon A Child location is individually owned and operated by local business owners, so you can feel good about shopping small.

Current Promotions

Each Once Upon A Child location is individually owned and operated by moms and dads like you, who understand money doesn't grow on trees. Our customers want quality childrens clothing, and were excited to offer locally sourced, gently used items at up to 70% off of regular retail prices.


We strive to provide a fun and convenient way to sell your gently used kids items and an eco-friendly shopping experience. We offer payment on the spot for items we select that meet current style, safety, and condition standards. We maintain high merchandise standards by thoroughly inspecting all toys and equipment for any safety recalls.


We would love to help you find what you want, whether buying or selling. Stop in today at Once Upon A Child Timonium!


The store has a wheelchair-accessible entrance, plenty of parking in our parking lot, and a restroom. We accept credit cards and cash as payment methods.


Our Once Upon A Child location is women-led by Kristen Suter! We are transparent and hope to make you feel welcome and at home when shopping or selling to us!

Committed to Sustainability

Together we can make an impact in our community.
